LAN connection
An MTL8000 node uses a Bus
Interface Module (BIM) to communicate with the host controller
via a local area network (LAN).
Different BIMs can be chosen to
operate with a range of popular
fieldbus protocols. The BIM
mounts on a carrier and receives
all of its communication and
power links from it.
The BIM uses the RS485 communications standard. Other alternatives are RS422, by changing
switches (where available) on the
carrier, or RS232 by fitting an inline converter. Switch options
sometimes
offer
alternative
methods for terminating the LAN.
Some BIMs also have a second
LAN connection to maintain communications in the event of damage occurring to the main communications link. This technique
is illustrated (right) for a Modbus
host where a second master is
shown.

Failsafe mode
Configuration
Failsafe recovery
The BIM is forced out of failsafe mode by
the Master but, before exiting the failsafe
state, the BIM will wait until all the I/O
modules have been polled, to enable output
values to be preconditioned by the Master
before the BIM leaves the failsafe state.

8502-BI-DP
PARAMETERISATION
The 8502 supports parameterisation from the Profibus master. This
configures on a per module basis, i.e. all the channels on a single
module carry the same configuration. The configuration is created in
a Profibus configurator using details provided in a GSD file.
This method is fast and enables a configuration to be built based
upon logical modules which represent the physical modules.
Modules are added one at a time to the configuration and parameters are chosen to apply to all the channels of the module.
Logical modules can be selected to provide HART status and process
variables in the Profibus-DP cyclic input telegram. In addition, for
applications where access to many HART variables is required, the
HART mailbox can be used. This technique collects HART variable
as they are required; saving space in telegrams that are sometimes
overworked with data. This method is available only when using
parameterisation.
The configuration is passed down from the Profibus master to the
BIM at the start of the session. If the system is stopped and re-started, the configuration file is re-transmitted to the BIM.
CONFIGURATION
The alternative to parameterisation is the use of the 8455-SW-CF
configuration software. This enables the user to configure individual
channels and alarms and store the configuration in the BIM. The configuration can also be saved to the 8510-MO-NS Node Services
Module for instant recovery if a BIM has to be replaced.

Module. The 8510 also has an autoconfiguration option.

AUTOCONFIGURATION
The BIM has an autoconfiguration mode that can be triggered by a
software command or by switches on the Node Services Module.
This causes the BIM to delete its current configuration and reset the
modules to their default values. The BIM then scans the Railbus and
creates a new configuration file based upon the module types fitted
and using their default values, which is then saved to NVM.
*In this mode of operation, writes to outputs are inhibited on the secondary
LAN during normal operation but enabled if the BIM detects failure of the
primary LAN.

PROJECT FILE
The configuration information is contained in a project file. A project file can be created for a single BIM or for multiple BIMs, e.g. on
a network, each of which can accommodate up to 32 I/O modules.
The configuration information may then be downloaded to the individual BIMs on the network.
The right hand side of the screen contains information on any item
that is highlighted in the navigation tree to the left. With the network
icon selected, three tabbed pages of information are available (see
Fig 1).
DYNAMIC DATA
Real-time data is available on-screen if the configuration link (serial
or LAN) is in place. The viewable data includes primary variables
as well as status parameters. This can be refreshed continually or
when the operator requires a screen refresh. When in continuous
refresh mode, the time between module data reads can also be
viewed. Alternatively, the Configurator can be operated offline for
simple project file creation.
